Chapter 198: She’s Too Shameless
Mrs. Hao was pounding so hard on the door that when it was suddenly flung open, she lost her balance and nearly stumbled inside.
Fortunately, she just barely managed to steady herself.
Fu Mingxue asked, her face cold, "Why are you howling like a dog at my door?"
"You... you’re calling me a dog?" Mrs. Hao trembled with rage.
Fu Mingxue’s expression turned apologetic. "I owe the dogs an apology for even mentioning them in the same breath as you. It’s a terrible insult to them."
Mrs. Hao was practically apoplectic. "You... you—"
With all the shouting, residents of the family compound had started coming out to watch the commotion.
When they heard what Fu Mingxue said, they couldn’t help but snort with laughter.
’Heavens, Qin Tuan’s wife has such a venomous tongue. She’ll really say anything.’
’They say Qin Tuan has a sharp tongue too, but who knew his wife’s was even sharper?’
’If it were us, we’d never dare to curse someone out like that.’
"You what? Was I wrong? A person who scalds their own granddaughter like that and then won’t even let her see a doctor is worse than an animal."
At this, Mrs. Hao completely lost her senses to her anger. She reached out to strike Fu Mingxue. "You bitch! You fatherless mutt! Let me teach you some respect for your elders—"
When Fu Mingxue heard that, her eyes went ice-cold.
She reached out and caught the incoming hand. Just as she was about to slap her back, someone else moved faster.
SLAP! SLAP! The sound of two heavy slaps rang out.
The slaps came from Mrs. Fu, who had just rushed out.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
Mrs. Fu grabbed a fistful of Mrs. Hao’s hair and began slapping her again and again.
"You deathless old bitch! Who are you calling fatherless? My daughter’s father was a hero who sacrificed his life! How dare you insult his memory? See if I don’t beat you crippled, you old hag—"
Mrs. Fu did not hold back.
She was strong to begin with, and now she was putting all her might into the beating.
Mrs. Hao was so thoroughly beaten she couldn’t fight back at all—all she could do was howl in pain.
The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded.
’That was a brutal beating.’
They all exchanged glances. ’What now? Who’s going to go break it up?’
’No one dares go near them right now! Can’t you see she’s gone berserk? What if we get caught in the crossfire?’
Then, someone had an idea. "Go get Director Wang!"
That would be Sister Wang, the one who manages the family compound’s logistics.
That made sense to everyone.
Someone immediately ran off to get her.
Fu Mingxue watched coldly as her mother thrashed the old crone.
’If her mom hadn’t rushed out so fast, she would have landed that slap herself.’
’Heh. If you’re going to run your mouth like that, don’t expect me to respect your age.’
The person who ran to get Sister Wang ran into her on the way.
So they both got back very quickly.
Sister Wang didn’t know what had led to this, but the sight of the two fighting gave her a massive headache.
’No, wait. This is a one-sided beatdown.’
She quickly rushed forward to pull them apart. "Stop it right now—"
Mrs. Fu felt she had dished out enough punishment, so when someone came to pull her off, she let them.
She immediately launched into her side of the story. "You’re Sister Wang, correct? You’ve come at the perfect time. You have to be the judge of this. This damn old hag insulted my husband, a fallen hero! She cursed my daughter for being fatherless and ill-bred! If you all don’t give me justice for this today, I swear this won’t be the end of it."
Sister Wang: ...?
She glanced at Mrs. Hao, who was still lying on the ground, wailing.
’Still, though... wasn’t this beating a little too brutal?’
As for Mrs. Hao, she was livid.
’She couldn’t believe how shameless that old bitch Fu was. The nerve, to complain first!’
